α-芋螺毒素是从有毒的海洋锥螺中分离出来的多肽神经毒素,是不同亚型的烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体(NAChRs)的有效和选择性拮抗剂。因此,它们是剖析nAChRs在神经系统功能中所起作用的有价值的探针。近年来,在分子水平上对α-芋螺毒素与nAChRs结合机制的广泛了解有助于设计具有更好药理特性的合成类似物。本文综述了α-芋螺毒素作为研究工具的构效关系研究,用于研究中枢和外周神经系统中的nAChRs及其在开发新的治疗药物方面的应用。
α-Conotoxins are peptide neurotoxins isolated from venomous marine cone snails that are potent and selective antagonists for different subtypes of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). As such, they are valuable probes for dissecting the role that nAChRs play in nervous system function. In recent years, extensive insight into the binding mechanisms of α-conotoxins with nAChRs at the molecular level has aided in the design of synthetic analogs with improved pharmacological properties. This review examines the structure-activity relationship studies involving α-conotoxins as research tools for studying nAChRs in the central and peripheral nervous systems and their use towards the development of novel therapeutics.
